Last month, the International Book Fair of Barranquilla (LIBRAQ) took place at the Centro de Eventos Puerta de Oro and the Gran Malecón. The development of this type of spaces is essential for the culture of the people of Barranquilla within the framework of its goal of being the best educated city in Colombia.
The Pies Descalzos Foundation, with its commitment to Quality Education, joins the development of these literary and cultural proposals. Thus, with the objective of reinforcing the learning that takes place in the classroom within projects such as Storytellers and Reading Clubs, the children of the Educational Institution participated in the activities and experiences proposed within the framework of LIBRAQ.
The Casa de la Cultura de la Gobernación del Atlántico, Comfamiliar and the team of the International Book Fair of Barranquilla, opened meaningful learning spaces for children. Exploring literary figures, storytelling spaces, dance and music presentations, participation in forums and discussions, and book presentations by their authors, were some of the teaching moments that the children of the Foundation were able to experience.
At the end of the day, the students said goodbye to the fair full of knowledge, motivation and great details provided by the different LIBRAQ exhibitors. This was the culmination of an extracurricular activity that opened the possibility of interacting with different academic aspects in a spontaneous, fun and exploratory way.
We thank the directors of the educational institution Fundación Pies Descalzos for accompanying this space, our educational manager and Comfamiliar officials for believing with us that with quality education we can do anything.
